Lemon-Ginger Salmon with Honey Glaze

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that’s perfect for a light and flavorful dinner. This Lemon-Ginger Salmon with Honey Glaze is a dish that never fails to impress with its bright and zesty flavors. Whether you’re cooking for a special occasion or just want to elevate your weeknight meal, this dish is sure to be a hit.

Ingredients:

  • salmon fillets (4, 150g each)
  • lemon (1, juiced and zested)
  • fresh ginger (1-inch piece, grated)
  • honey (2 tablespoons)
  • soy sauce (1 tablespoon)
  • garlic (2 cloves, minced)
  • olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • salt (to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)

Kitchen Tools:

  • baking sheet
  • mixing bowl
  • grater
  • whisk
  • measuring spoons

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared sheet. In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, grated ginger, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined.

Pour the marinade over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the salmon marinate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. Once marinated, bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serve the Lemon-Ginger Salmon with a side of steamed jasmine rice and your favorite vegetables. The combination of zesty lemon, spicy ginger, and sweet honey creates a perfect harmony of flavors that will leave you wanting more.

This dish serves 4, with each serving weighing approximately 200g. One serving of this Lemon-Ginger Salmon with Honey Glaze is approximately 300 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some sesame seeds over the salmon before serving for an added crunch and nutty flavor. It’s a simple addition that will take your dish to the next level.

I hope you give this Lemon-Ginger Salmon with Honey Glaze a try and enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite herbs or spices to make it your own. Happy cooking!
